NeoGenomics Reports 15% Volume Growth and 10% Reduction in Average Cost per Test in the First Quarter of 2017
Integration of Southern California Facilities and Clarient Clients Now Complete
Ft. Myers, Florida - April 26, 2017 - NeoGenomics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEO), a leading provider of cancer-focused genetic testing services, today reported its results for the first quarter of 2017.
First Quarter 2017 Highlights:
Consolidated revenues for the first quarter were $61.7 million, an increase of 3% over the same period last year. Clinical genetic test volume(1) increased 15% year over year, and average revenue per clinical genetic test ("Revenue per Test") decreased by 9% to $354, primarily due to changes in test mix as a result of the rapid growth of lower priced immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests over the last year.
Consolidated gross profit was unchanged compared to last year's first quarter, but consolidated gross margin declined slightly to 44.1%. Gross margin reductions were primarily due to the negative gross margin at PathLogic. Average cost-of-goods-sold per clinical genetic test ("Cost per Test") declined by 10% compared to the first quarter of 2016, which led to a slight improvement in gross margin for this business.
Consolidated operating expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 8%, from Quarter 1 2016, primarily as a result of increased payroll, depreciation and bad debt expenses.
Interest expense for the quarter decreased by $229,000, or 14%, from the first quarter of 2016 as a result of refinancing the bank debt in December of 2016 at significantly lower interest rates. As previously reported, this financing enabled the Company to redeem $55 million of its Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (55% of the preferred stock outstanding), which reduced the number of Adjusted Diluted Shares(2) outstanding by 8.5%.
Net loss in Quarter 1 was ($0.7) million, versus a net profit of $0.2 million in last year's first quarter. GAAP loss per share available to common stockholders, after deducting non-cash preferred stock charges, was ($0.04) in Quarter 1, versus ($0.07) per share in last year's first quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $7.1 million in the first quarter as compared to $8.2 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased overtime and other inefficiencies caused by the final Clarient integration activities in Quarter 1. Adjusted Net Income(2) was $2.6 million as compared to $2.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) was $0.03 per share, versus $0.03 per share last year.
Douglas M. VanOort, the Company's Chairman and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased to report that all Clarient integration activities have now been completed. The consolidation of our Irvine facility into our newly renovated Aliso Viejo facility in late March was executed extremely well. In addition, we have now adjusted many processes to reflect the significantly higher volume in the Aliso Viejo Lab, and our operations are rapidly returning to normal. Integrating the customers, lab operations, and facilities of two equally-sized laboratories was an enormously complex task, and we are very proud of our employees for accomplishing this within the first 15 months after the acquisition. We also want to thank our customers for their patience over the last five months."
Mr. VanOort continued, "Quarter 1 financial performance was largely as expected given the impact of the integration activities on our business. While we still expect some residual impacts to growth in Quarter 2, the vast majority of the integration distractions should be behind us by the end of the second quarter. With our laboratory teams now operating under one roof in Southern California, and all our customers on the same laboratory information and billing systems, we believe it will be easier to create efficiencies and realize synergies. We are pursuing a number of opportunities that we expect will lead to increased profitability in the second half of the year.
Mr. VanOort concluded, "Our Pharma Services Division continues to have excellent momentum with the backlog of signed contracts growing to $41.5 million at the end of Quarter 1. Our experience in Immuno-Oncology trials and the breadth and depth of our test menu are increasingly attractive to leading pharmaceutical companies. We expect to open our new Geneva Switzerland lab facility by the end of Quarter 3, and we are starting to receive client interest for that facility to support European clinical trials. Although the recent increase in backlog has not yet resulted in meaningful top line growth, we expect Pharma Services revenue to increase nicely as we progress through 2017 and beyond."
Quarter 2 and Full-Year 2017 Financial Outlook:
NeoGenomics also issued preliminary guidance for the second quarter 2017 today. The Company expects second quarter 2017 consolidated revenue to be in the range of $62 - $64 million and GAAP Diluted EPS to be a loss of ($0.04) - ($0.03) per share. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA(2) to be $8 - $10 million, Adjusted Net Income(2) to be $2.8 - $3.6 million, and Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) to be $0.03 - $0.04 per share.
Based on current trends in operations, the Company also revised its full year consolidated 2017 revenue to be $255 - $265 million (previously $260 - $275 million) and GAAP Diluted EPS to be a loss of ($0.10) - ($0.06) per share (previously a loss of ($0.10) - ($0.05) per share). The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA(2) to be $39 - $46 million (previously $42 - $50 million), Adjusted Net Income(2) to be $15 - $18 million (previously $15 - $19 million), and Adjusted Diluted EPS(2) to be $0.17 - $0.21 per share (previously $0.17 - $0.22 per share).
Please also refer to the tables reconciling forecasted Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA to their closest GAAP equivalents in the section of this report entitled "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures."

Current and prospective investors are encouraged to perform their own due diligence before buying or selling any of the Company's securities, and are reminded that the foregoing estimates should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that presentation of operating results using non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of the Company's core operating results and comparison of core operating results across reporting periods. Management also uses non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making, planning and forecasting purposes and to manage the Company's business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to and not as a substitute for the Company's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full measure of the Company's recorded costs against its net revenue. In addition, the Company's definition of the non-GAAP financial measures below may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
Non - GAAP Adjusted EBITDA
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income from continuing operations before: (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, and if applicable in a reporting period (v) acquisition related transaction expenses (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets (vii) debt financing costs (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.
Non - GAAP Adjusted Net Income
"Adjusted Net Income" is defined by NeoGenomics as net income available to common shareholders from continuing operations plus: (i) non-cash amortization of customer lists and other intangible assets, (ii) non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, (iii) non-cash deemed dividends on preferred stock, (iv) non-cash amortization of preferred stock beneficial conversion feature, and if applicable in a reporting period (v) acquisition related transaction expenses (vi) non-cash impairments of intangible assets (vii) debt financing costs (viii) and other significant non-recurring or non-operating (income) or expenses.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS
"Adjusted Diluted EPS" is defined by NeoGenomics as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Shares outstanding. Adjusted Diluted Shares outstanding is the sum of Diluted shares outstanding and the weighted average number of common shares that would be outstanding if the preferred stock were converted into common stock on the original issue date based on the number of days such common shares would have been outstanding in the reporting period. In addition, if GAAP Net Income is negative and Adjusted Net Income is positive, Adjusted Diluted Shares will also include any options or warrants that would be outstanding as dilutive instruments using the treasury stock method.
Basis for Non-GAAP Adjustments
NeoGenomics basis for excluding certain expenses (income) from GAAP financial measures, are outlined below:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Guidance to Corresponding GAAP Measures
2017 net income available to common stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP will be impacted by certain non-cash charges, including: (i) expenses related to variable stock-based compensation, (ii) approximately $7.0 million of expense related to the amortization of customers lists and other intangibles from the Clarient acquisition, (iii) approximately $3.9 million of deemed preferred stock dividends, and (iv) approximately $6.7 million of related to the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature related to the preferred stock issued in connection with the Clarient acquisition. These non-cash charges have been included in GAAP net income (loss) available to common shareholders and GAAP net income (loss) per share; however, they have been removed from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share.
The following table reconciles our 2017 outlook for Net Income, EBITDA and EPS to the corresponding non-GAAP measures of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS:
